Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam has been given a three-match ban by the Football Association after failing to win an appeal over his violent conduct charge.

The charge related to an altercation involving Adam and Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud during Saturday's 1-0 win for Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.

"Stoke City's Charlie Adam will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect after an FA charge for violent conduct was found proven," read an official FA statement.

"The incident with Arsenal's Olivier Giroud, which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video, occurred during the fixture between the two sides at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday 1 March 2014."

Adam's suspension will start on Saturday when Stoke travel to Norwich City in the Premier League.
